[QUIZ SOLUTION] Texas Hold'Em (#24) (no lines over 72 chars in length :-)

From: Patrick Hurley <phurley@...>
Date: 2005-03-23 02:39:23 UTC
List: ruby-talk #134782
Find below a very slightly modified version of my quiz submission
where none of the lines exceed 72 charaters in width. I have become
"lazy" in that my editors on my 20" LCDs have no difficulty with lines
exceeding 100 chars. I have also sometime since I got those new
monitors started printing code in landscape.

Alas I have forgotton other people and so to make amends here is the
reformatted quiz submission.

Grinning :-)
